Introduction
Feels just like using effect pedals

The three effects each have their own displays, parameter knobs and footswitches, allowing
you to control all of them intuitively.
Introduction / Terms Used in This Manual

Realistic amplifier modeling
Using our new ZFX-IV DSP, we have faithfully recreated the distortion rich with harmonics
and the compression characteristic of tube amps.
The precisely-crafted modeled sounds are extremely responsive to picking dynamics and
guitar volume control.
Combine diverse effects as you like

With over 100 types of effects that you can freely combine, the is a multi-effects unit that
will let your imagination run wild.
Looper that can be synchronized with rhythms

The looper can be synchronized with rhythms and record phrases of up to 40 seconds.
Automatic saving
The auto save function reliably stores the changes you make.
Works with ZOOM Edit & Share software

The can be used with Edit & Share software, which is a patch editor and librarian, on a
computer to back up patches and change the order of effects.
See the ZOOM website (http://www.zoom.co.jp/) for further information about Edit & Share.
Terms Used in This Manual
Patch
The ON/OFF status and the parameter settings of each effect are stored as "patches." Use
patches to recall and save effects. The can store 100 patches.
Bank
A set of 10 patches is called a "bank." The has 10 banks labeled A–J.

E J
4 FD TWANG This twangy crunch sound uses Fender Twin Reverb modeling.

5 Heavy Noisy midrange distortion. Great for getting on top of a mix if you need to get rowdy and obnoxious. 5 PurpleRain This patch is inspired by Prince’s Purple Rain. The width of the sound that you feel when you play an arpeggio with this patch is from heavy use of the Stereo Delay effect.
6 Tsugaru By using the pitch shifting of the Bend Chorus effect, a sound reminiscent of the traditional Japanese Tsugaru Shamisen is generated. To maximize this similarity use the rear pickup on a guitar with single coil pickups and pick eighth notes with downward strokes. 6 2000 DRIVE This drive sound uses Marshall JCM2000 modeling. This is great for guitars with rear humbucker pickups.
7 TIME BOMB Combination of Comp, T Scream and Tangerine. A vintage amp on the verge of exploding. Great for aggressive rhythms or solos. 7 FlyReverse Stereo chorus and reverse delay are combined for a clean sound.
